I´m Nutritionist (from Brasil) , 40 years old and Skater. I wrote a book called Nutrição Esportiva Aplicada ao Skate (Sport Nutrition applied to Skateboarding) and I can assure your advices are great! I mean, this kind of advice must be spread across the internet. I hope your video reaches many people 👏👏👏
Awesome! I've been searching for this type of book! So happy to hear it exists! I am curious if there is an English version available? I'm going to purchase it and promote either way to help spread then word, so happy to hear you are doing similar work, keep it up. Thank you so much for the comment!
"If you skate longer than an hour..." At my age (53), it takes an hour for me to even get warmed up and in a groove. There's a substantial amount of standing, sitting, and stopping/catching my breath etc. going on there too though. Ha. Conslidated skate time, from that hour, might only be 20 mins. I'm sometimes at the park for 3 or 4 hours, but consolidated skate time might not even hit 2 hrs worth. Everyone is different, but it usually takes an energy drink to snap me out of my tired haze enough to skate. Note: I do not drink energy drinks, caffiene, etc. on my non-skate days. Skating for a couple of hours, or so, usually totals me out, to the point that I will not accomplish anything else that day, BUT ITS BLOODY WELL WORTH IT!!!!! Lol. 'Just a window into what skating may look like if you're still doin it past 50! Keep rippin homie!🤙
Great insight, I appreciate this. And great point about short bouts of skating followed by resting. You can certainly skate much longer this way and would not need to focus on fueling every hour due to less activity during each hour. The fueling strategies I discussed are aimed at continuous movement, similar to endurance athletics like running or biking. I appreciate the commend and you watching! keep ripping too!
Bro 👏👏👏 For what it’s worth, bra-F’N-vo! Your videos are a great addition to my algorithm. I just started seriously skateboarding (multiple sessions a week, for about 1-2 hours at a time)this past summer. I just turned 39 last month, and I can appreciate the informative, well thought out, articulate coaching you are providing not just for older guys like me, but also the younger kids just getting into skating. You’re appreciation and promotion for health and fitness may run counter to the mainstream view of a lot of skaters,(Mountain Dew and Taco Bell commercial) but it’s can attest to the physical demands of skating; it is certainly at the very least, a vigorous form of cardiovascular excessive, but in my opinion, indeed falls under the category of a sport. Your channel is a necessary niche in the skating community, especially with younger kids coming up watching people skateboard in the Olympics!
…im 50, been on board for 37 years now. And i skate when i feel for it and when i want to. In summer often full days, if i Got the time. In vinter time 3-4 times a week indoor. I love the time spend on wheels with me friends, it keeps me Young 😉🙌🔥
I been Carnivore for 3 years and I rely on my body’s natural Gluconeogenisis to convert protein to glucose without waisting my muscle. I have unlimited sustained energy and always have reserve in my back up Fuel tank. Great seeing you over the Holidays👊🏻❤️🛹🥩🍳🧠✔️
I’m half your age and I can go a few hours but I wholeheartedly agree with injuries and slams becoming more of a problem once you pass a certain point, and I at least, usually know exactly when that point is… if the park is still open and you know you wanna go home, it’s time to call it.
Some good food for thought! I likely don't have a lot of store energy, being a short and skinny guy. I will for sure be more mindful about managing energy and session time. 2 hours is going to be pretty hard because I get into a bit of a high and can't stop, but I guess you gotta do what you gotta do. I hear all these things about the majority of athletes in energy-intensive disciplines are using baking soda as supplement to prevent lactic acid build-up. Maybe I might have to try that to get a boost unless it's got some health repercussions.
Yeh I can relate, I need to think about these things often because I'm one of those skaters that will just ride for hours at a time and forget to rest. Be sure to fuel up !
If I do it everyday, then I can probably skate for like 7 hours… as long as I’m staying warmed up and not taking breaks or having a conversation. How I do it now, every 2-4 days, doesn’t feel too amazing. Mentally I’m there because skating less often makes me desire it more in some ways, but also it feels like my body is playing catch-up. I don’t know what’s happening sometimes. My knees were feeling pretty good, so I started skating harder and doing excercise but lately I feel kinda beat up, and not focused on skating as much as I was a few months ago. I have been skating for like a year, though I skated in my teens and already had kickflips, ollies, etc. I’m 33, gonna be 34 soon. My only gripe is not skating too often and then skating in a repetitive way and doing like 100 ollies (sometimes on a manual pad) for progression and then my knees feel kinda crappy. Nothing broken just meh.
Yeh I think a lot of skaters can relate. My suggestion would be to just try to stay in tune with your body and what causes you to feel wiped out, then trying to avoid that in the future and getting plenty of rest along with a well-rounded diet. Small changes over time will help move the needle!
@@frontsidehealthYes! That is the key, be healthy. I avoided alcohol all this time, a whole year but I’ve had a few lagers in the past few days and even skated at the same time. My excuse is that it’s the holidays and… I’m at peace with it. I would still say a six pack of beer can hurt my skating, recovery-wise, a lot more than a big mac ever will. Even crappy food can hurt your skating tbh (because recovery) but it’s not the worst thing. But that doesn’t discount the abuse your body incurs while skating! But in my case, I’ve learned that it’s best not to rest too long. Go out there and skate more! I don’t really believe in recovery until your body’s begging for it. 🛹 I’m eatting eggs with deli-grade american cheese, strawberries, english muffin with jelly and butter and a longboard beer!
whats your advice for me? i'm 26, but i can only sesh for like an hour and a half or 2 hours every other day before i destroy my left knee. but that hour and a half mark is when i'm the most warmed up
Thanks for the question. I would consider your total volume of activity per week, you may not be properly recovering from sessions. Are you currently doing any resistance training? You might want to check out my last video "how often should adults skateboard."
When I was 38 I skated 9 hours in one day. Lately I have also skated every single day of all of 2023 & 2024 as of today at the age of 42. I skate most sessions while fasting. That would mean, I break all of these rules. I'm still jumping with high energy and the local teenagers cannot keep up with me. Are you sure this info is true?
That's awesome man, keep inspiring the young skaters! And yes, I have many clients that are athletes, the information is evidenced-based, and a good starting point to help athletes fuel adequately and optimize performance.
@@frontsidehealth I have a resting heartrate of 40 Bpm. I am around 200 Pounds. I exercise and train 4-5 hours a day. The question is, what makes an "athlete" an athlete? I have tried all of kinds of methods over the last decade. I have done the things you have said. It always causes my performance to be worse. Why would that be? Why is it that my performance is best when I am fasted? Why does an ankle sprain that would take 4-6 weeks to heal as recommended, only take me 3 days for me to heal?
@@smithersskatepark I'd consider an athlete a person that participates in athletics, such as skateboarding. I don't know why these things would make your performance worse or why you seem to heal well, it would take much more time with you and information to glean more insight into how your specific body is responding to the specific intervention. As I mentioned in then video, if you already have a diet/lifestyle that is working, then I wouldn't change it. To your point, some people do prefer fasted workouts due to more perceived energy (typically due to an increase in stress hormone circulation or the "fight/flight" response) and/or just preferring to have less food in their digestive track during that time. There are many reasons diet interventions work well for one person and not well for another. However, the reason I included the information in the video is because it is in line with empirical data in the field of sports nutrition.
@@frontsidehealth Yeah. I'm not looking for the data. Or answers. I am knowledgeable in such. I wanted to ask questions. Because your performance should reflect your words.

Thanks! these tips open a new timeframe for me to skate: early mornings. 👍👍👍
That's my timeframe too! right on

10/10 content! LOVE IT!
thanks for watching !
love it keep em coming
never heard this advice before. will implement it in to my morning sessions
right on
Depending on how much I sleep the night before I can go from 1 to 3 hours. It's mostly just light impact stuff like transition & manuals.
sleep is huge!
At 60 a solid hour is good for me. Any more and my legs are noodles and the slam factor increases exponentially.
I’m half your age and I can go a few hours but I wholeheartedly agree with injuries and slams becoming more of a problem once you pass a certain point, and I at least, usually know exactly when that point is… if the park is still open and you know you wanna go home, it’s time to call it.

When i skate im usually skate for maximum 2 hours. Then i skate intense without ang longer breaks. Thats what i usually can without losing all energy
